Asus ZenPad C Z170MG Specs Price Available Philippines

Oh look what we have here! Asus ZenPad gets even more cheaper with its new ZenPad C!

On the looks department it similar to that of earlier released ZenPads, exuding a fashion forward aesthetics that can readily compliment your outfit of the day #OOTD. Up front it sports 7 inch IPS WSVGA (1024x600) IPS Display with Anti-Fingerprint coating and supports 10 multi-touch points. Let's just say it just the similar to ZenPad C 7.0 but of different internals.

The ZenPad C does not carry Intel processor and makes use of Mediatek MT8382V Quad-Core Processor coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB Internal Expandable Storage.

Runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and packs Asus propriety apps as well as Asus PixelMaster Camera and intuitive ZenUI.

Just the basic configuration for camera as it is only equipped with 2MP Rear and VGA front. As for connectivity,  it packs the regular WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Tablet has phone and messaging functions thanks to its Dual MicroSim and also offers 3G/HSPA+  data connectivity.

It also carries DTS HD Premium Sound for its speakers to provide quality audio.

Makes of use 13Wh Li-polymer Battery that is quoted at a higher battery life of 8.5 hours of moderate usage of course.

ZenPad C must be a corrective device to their ZenPad C 7.0. They are nearly the same unit except for difference in internal and dimensions 189 x 108 x 9.5 mm (LxWxH) at 275g. They traded the Intel Chip for Mediatek, maybe because of compatibility issues and much cheaper and so the ZenPad C retails for 4,995 1K difference to that of ZenPad C 7.0.

Spotted via Lazada Philippines! Guess it will be made available with their Online revolution Campaign that starts tomorrow 12.10 to 12.12. See here:

Cherry Mobile Flare Lite Review

Got hold Flare Lite, the cheapest of the Flare series by Cherry Mobile.

The Flare Lite comes in all plastic design with black at the front while colored body and matte back cover that depends on what you choose from the 7 colors – yellow, white, green, magenta, cyan, black, and red. I really like the colored body that acts as a great accent feature with or without the back cover and reminds me of HTC designs aesthetic. It is very light but is well put together as there are no creaking when handling the device. The matte-like back cover provides grip and is anti-fingerprint that makes Flare Lite presentable at all times.

All ports are located at the top which is good as you won’t be flipping the handset when using the device while it is charging or listening to music. On the left side is the volume rocker and power/lock button. On the back is the dedicated 5MP Camera and Flash as well as Loudspeaker. Upfront is 4 inch WVGA LCD Capacitive Display.

Under the hood, it is powered by 1.0GHz Mediatek MT6572 Dual-Core Processor accompanied by Mali400 GPU. Memory is handled by 512MB RAM and 4GB Internal Storage. Upon testing, the Flare Lite runs smooth Android KitKat with slight lag and the same case goes when playing games and multitasking. However, Memory management is better and optimized as even with apps running on background it still performs. You have more usable storage with more than 2GB available.

In terms of connectivity, WiFi and Bluetooth works with good coverage and fast connectivity. GPS also picks up location quick but also depends on environment. It supports HSPA+ data connectivity but data depends on your network provider.

The 5MP camera is acceptable though I find it washout and underexposed so make sure you have fair enough of light even with Flash. 2MP Front camera does its jobs that produce decent selfies.

With Flash

Low Light No Flash

Front-Camera Output

Flare lite last about half the day of moderate use of games, data, wifi including call and text.

Overall, the Flare Lite is mix of style and function for entry level device. Optimize performance with Android KitKat matched with reliable and adequate hardware plus working camera and connectivity that covers all your Smartphones basic needs in a bright colorful fashion. Priced for 2,700 Pesos.
